CASSIDY P.O.V.
"Arianna..." i whined for the hundreth time.
"Come on, your going to come whether you like it or not" she said, serious.
"But i dont wanna-" i said. "Leave Isaiah" she finished my sentence.
"School" she said throwing a gift bag at me. I opened it and it contained a beautiful gown that was slit to show one of my legs. It was beautiful and I was bawling at how Arianna thought of me while she was shopping. I hugged her so hard."its all I can afford" she added and I thanked her so much.
"Put on the dress, come on were going to prom" she cheered.

I looked pretty hot with some light pink eyeshadow blending in with the white, and some red lipstick. I didn't even know that was me in the mirror. I had curves!! Omgzz... Arianna changed real quick finishing her makeup.
" leygo" she said ghetto while we got in her moms car. The prom was decorated in a hall and it was packed with people. I guess thats what you get for opening it to everyone under the age of 19.
"Hey you have a date right?" She asked and I looked at her with a really look. Her and her date left to the dance floor while I was sitting at the losers table which was pretty fun actually. We started playing cards and then once someone put money in it. Shit got serious.
"Cassidy?" I heard someone say behind me, but I wave them off.
"Unless you wanna fit in, its not gonna be with them" I heard the someone speak again and everyone went quiet.
"Jerk....these are my family and this is where I fit in. You can go with your lame ass dickheads group" I said standing up for my people looking in back of me to who the jerks voice was. I looked and it was Zach laughing his ass off(he was playing with me) so I gave him an evil smile.

"Cassidy?" I heard another voice said behind me. It was Ayden, god why do we all go to the same school. He look handsome in his suit, wearing a blue tie brought his eye color out more.
"Would you dance with me Ms.Winters?" He asked and I took his hand. He placed his hands on my waist and I placed mine on his shoulders, not comfortable to wrap around his neck yet.
"How's the baby?" He asked sweetly smiling at me.
" Handsome like his father, smiley like his beautiful mother, and healthy" I said smiling because Isaiah was really something.
"Definitely beautiful, gorgeous and perfect like his mother" he said "I'm sorry" he added.
"No don't do that" I said looking at him.
" I'm stupid but I need you in my life, by my side-" he was cut off by Zach.
"How do you say that thing when you ask someone to dance when there with another person?" He asked thinking.
"May I cut in?" He said finding out and Ayden hesitated but then he handed me with him. He looked at me like he had more to say.
"Did I happen to say I'm sorry" he said. What's up with these guys apologizing now. I've been happy being a mother and still a teen for the past week without them.
"I was drunk, I'm stupid and I decided that I'm moving out to go live with my aunt and make a life for me to go to college and get a degree in something involve with photography" he said smiling thinking about his future plans. I was so excited for him, hugging him, jumping up and down in his arms just grateful that he's leaving his past.
"I love you--r ...your thinking " I said and I was freaking out inside and screaming at myself of why I almost said it. Omg I feel like an idiot. He's getting his life together and I had to interfere by saying almost three words. I look down embarrass.

" Thank you Cass" he said resting his head in the crook of my neck. I close my eyes taking in his scent and how comfortable I felt right now. I open my eyes and I saw Ayden look at Zach with hatred but turned that into guilt. Then he looked at me with guilt and hurt, he suddenly turn and left. That's when I knew that I needed to let go of Zachary and be with Ayden. I need not to be selfish, and he's my baby father. He needs me.
I let go of Zach and said "hope you reach your goals and have a family who supports your every decision in life. I love you but I have to let you go, goodbye Zach see you soon". Walking away with tears in my eyes, I let go and walked all the way to where my Isaiah and Ayden would be....home.

Viceroy's Pride
This story could be about the Tellask Empire, ruler of a thousand suns and faced with imminent peril at the hands of the Orakh hordes. It could be about Paltai Amberell, the scion of a noble elven House, fallen upon hard times and seeking to find the key that will restore his family's name and save the Empire itself. It could be the story of his voidship, The Viceroy's Pride, powered by magic and crewed by a team of crack marines as they search for adventure and the solution to the Empire's myriad problems. Instead, this is the story of Daniel Thrush, human electrical engineer, befuddled researcher and survivor of the debacle that was first contact with a spacefaring civilization. Due to a combination of luck, magic, hard work, and more luck he is thrust into the center of events as Earth is shoved onto a much larger stage rife with semi-immortal elves and magical kingdoms that predate the Earthly invention of agriculture. Earth is outnumbered, and we have precisely one wizard. Dan. He's not very good at it, but he's going to have to learn in a hurry or watch everything he knows get torn apart by massive spacefaring empires straight from the pages of a fantasy novel. ---------- Some readers have noted that the MC tends to be weak willed and pushed around a bit. A significant portion of the story is his character growth into not being a pushover (i.e. him being passive is in the early chapters on purpose). I'm just including this caveat/warning to make sure that readers aren't surprised/upset and that they stick with it until he learns to stand up for himself. His arc begins to crystallize around chapters 25-27. If that's too long to wait, I get it, I'm just trying to do my due diligence and warn you that the character development is a bit of a slow burn. This is NOT a harem novel. Nothing against them, just not what it is. --------- Updates Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday Feel free to bother me on our discord- Discord!
